CELLPHONE: Voicemailbox
Oct. 30th, 2020 02:53 pm[Voice sample for Ash. His accent's a little milder than this, having softened in the US.]
If you've used his number in the current incarnation of Digilife, it's probably his American one:
[English.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. I'll be in Japan until February 10th; after that I'll be back in Australia. Please update your contacts lists: My Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. If it really can't wait, my number in Japan is +81 80 XXXX XXXX [Japanese characters may recognize this as a Tokyo cellphone number]. I can't get messages on this number until I'm next in the US, which won't be until July. Please, update your contacts; again my Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Thanks. [Beep! But listen to the boy, he's not going to get any messages on this until July.]
Australian number:
[English; mostly General Australian accent but going slightly midwestern American.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. Leave your name and number after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks! [Beep!]
Did you seriously just try his Japanese number:
[Japanese, with a mildly American accent. His Japan pavilion friends were right.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. I'm at home in Australia now; please update your contacts lists: My Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Again, my Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Thanks! [Beep!]
